Coinvolgente, spietato, brillante' John Gray Un uomo piccolo e magro, piuttosto noioso da guardare, né giovane né vecchio, che emana l'odore stantio di uno scapolo che non si prende cura di sé. Si tira le dita e fa schioccare le nocche e racconta la sua storia come uno scolaro recita la sua lezione. Un biglietto misterioso che predice l'omicidio di una cartomante; un vecchio confuso rinchiuso in un appartamento di Parigi; un finanziere che va a pescare; un'ereditiera sudamericana . Maigret deve farsi strada attraverso un frustrante labirinto di indizi, sospettati e moventi per scoprire cosa li collega. Penguin sta pubblicando l'intera serie di romanzi di Maigret in nuove traduzioni. Questo romanzo è stato pubblicato in precedenti traduzioni come To Any Lengths e Maigret e la cartomante. 'Uno dei più grandi scrittori del ventesimo secolo. Simenon era ineguagliabile nel farci guardare dentro, anche se la sua abilità era mascherata dalla sua brillantezza nell'assorbirci ossessivamente nelle sue storie' Guardian 'Uno scrittore supremo. Vividezza indimenticabile' Independent.

Georges Simenon (Author)
Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
David Coward (Translator)
David Coward is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Leeds and has translated many books from French for Penguin Classics.
